Torremolinos Tours
There’s something for everyone at Torremolinos, the action-packed gay capital of Spain’s Costa del Sol. On this 4-mile (7-kilometer) stretch of sand—Spain’s biggest beach resort—you’ll enjoy trendy nightclubs and sangria bars, bargain shopping on Calle San Miguel, and the sun-kissed beaches of El Bajondillo and La Carihuela.
The Basics
An excursion to Torrie gives visitors a look at a side of the Costa del Sol that’s quite different from other culture-packed destinations in Andalucia. Many travelers choose to visit on multi-day sightseeing tours through the region, also stopping at other points of interest like Seville, Ronda, Cordoba, and Granada. Torremolinos remains one of the best-value beach vacations in Europe for those who want to focus their travels on sea and sand.
